Alice Magazine NYC - Chapter 3

SP: I feel like I’m completely myself after the shows over and its 30 minutes later and
I’m eating a hamburger.
DM: I feel myself on stage but it’s definitely exaggerated emotions of myself. When I
wake up I’m not going to start screaming and singing…I should start doing that
actually… It just gives me a place to do that. Still myself, just a more dramatic version.
SP: A good out let.
AM: I loved it when you stripped off!
DM: Yeah I don’t know why I like doing that! Sometimes it’s because of the heat, and
I like wearing leotards. I don’t really feel like people look at me… like I don’t want to
be a sex symbol or anything like that. I just want to be myself, dressing up in weird
revealing shit, but still my freak self. I just love hanging out that way and singing!
AM: You play so many shows. How do you keep them all fresh, exiting and different?
DM: We try to write new songs a lot. I always try to bring up current things. I try to
talk to people like “hey whats up how’s it going, today this happened, oh shit!”
AM: Do you guys have plans or just see what happens?
DM: We’re going to record hopefully in September. I’d like to put out a record, we
just have a 7-inch out right now, put out another music video, tour Europe next
summer, just continue playing music.
AM: I love that you were cinema driven and then this just happened and it’s just gone
off!
DM: I’m really excited about working in film and also having music. I think it’s important
to do multiple different things, for anyone.
AM: Do you think the special energy that you and your band have, that authenticity, is
happening elsewhere in cinema or culturally or wherever?
DM: Definitely. It’s a broad thing to think about but I fucking hope so otherwise that
sucks!
SP: Not happening in the main stream thats for sure..
DM: It’s happening underground! Yeah if you’re doing cool shit lets hang out!
